Abstract
Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco)toxicological assessments because they offer ethical, cost-effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in the food chain and their ability to represent diverse aquatic ecosystems make them valuable subjects for (eco)toxicological studies. To ensure consistency and comparability across studies, international (eco)toxicology guidelines have been used to establish standardised methods and protocols for data collection, analysis and interpretation. However, the current standardised protocols primarily focus on a limited number of aquatic invertebrate species, mainly from Arthropoda, Mollusca and Annelida. These protocols are suitable for basic toxicity screening, effectively assessing the immediate and severe effects of toxic substances on organisms. For more comprehensive and ecologically relevant assessments, particularly those addressing long-term effects and ecosystem-wide impacts, we recommended the use of a broader diversity of species, since the present choice of taxa exacerbates the limited scope of basic ecotoxicological studies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of (eco)toxicological studies, focusing on major aquatic invertebrate taxa and how they are used to assess the impact of chemicals in diverse aquatic environments. The present work supports the use of a broad-taxa approach in basic environmental assessments, as it better represents the natural populations inhabiting various ecosystems. Advances in omics and other biochemical and computational techniques make the broad-taxa approach more feasible, enabling mechanistic studies on non-model organisms. By combining these approaches with in vitro techniques together with the broad-taxa approach, researchers can gain insights into less-explored impacts of pollution, such as changes in population diversity, the development of tolerance and transgenerational inheritance of pollution responses, the impact on organism phenotypic plasticity, biological invasion outcomes, social behaviour changes, metabolome changes, regeneration phenomena, disease susceptibility and tissue pathologies. This review also emphasises the need for harmonised data-reporting standards and minimum annotation checklists to ensure that research results are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), maximising the use and reusability of data. The ultimate goal is to encourage integrated and holistic problem-focused collaboration between diverse scientific disciplines, international standardisation organisations and decision-making bodies, with a focus on transdisciplinary knowledge co-production for the One-Health approach.

Abstract
Diorganotin(IV) complexes of flexible N-protected amino acids and ketoximes having the compositions Me2Sn [[Formula: see text]CHRCOO][ON = C6H10] (where R = –CH2CH(CH3)2, –CH(CH3)C2H5,–CH2C6H5, –CH(CH3)2) and Me2Sn[[Formula: see text]CHRCOO][ON=CR′R″] (where R = –CH2CH(CH3)2, –CH(CH3)C2H5, –CH2C6H5, R′ = R″ = CH3; R = –CH(CH3)C2H5, –CH2C6H5, –CH(CH3)2, R′ = CH3, R″ = C6H5) were prepared by the reaction of dimethyltin(IV) dichloride with sodium salts of flexible N-protected amino acids and ketoximes in 1:1:1 molar ratio in refluxing dry benzene. The synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and IR, multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, and 119Sn), and mass spectral studies. Plausible structures of these complexes have been suggested on the basis of molecular weight measurements and spectral data. 119Sn NMR spectral data indicate the presence of pentacoordinated tin centres in these complexes. Some of the synthesized complexes and their ligands were also screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
This study investigated the toxic effects of the insecticides lindane and chlorpyrifos, the herbicide diuron, the organometallic antifoulant tributyltin (TBT), and the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the early life stages of Paracentrotus lividus (Echinodermata, Euechinoidea), Ciona intestinalis (Chordata, Ascidiacea), Maja squinado and Palaemon serratus (Arthropoda, Crustacea) in laboratory acute toxicity tests. The assays studied embryogenesis success from fertilized egg to normal larvae in P. lividus (48 h incubation at 20 degrees C) and C. intestinalis (24 h incubation at 20 degrees C), and larval mortality at 24 and 48 h in M. squinado and P. serratus. For P. lividus, the median effective concentrations (EC50) reducing percentages of normal larvae by 50% were: 350 microg l(-1) for chlorpyrifos, 5500 microg l(-1) for diuron, 4277 microg l(-1) for SDS, and 0.309 microg l(-1) for TBT. For C. intestinalis, the EC50 values affecting embryogenesis success were 5666 microg l(-1) for chlorpyrifos, 24,397 microg (l-1) for diuron, 4412 microg l(-1) for lindane, 5145 microg I(-1) for SDS, and 7.1 microg l(-1) for TBT. The median lethal concentrations (LC50) for M. squinado larval survival were 0.84 microg l(-1) (24 h) and 0.79 microg l(-1) (48 h) for chlorpyrifos, 2.23 microg(l(-1) (24 h) and 2.18 microg l(-1) (48 h) for lindane, and 687 microg l(-1) (48 h) for SDS. For P. serratus the LC50 values obtained were 0.35 microg l(-1) (24 h) and 0.22 microg l(-1) (48 h) for chlorpyrifos, 3011 microg l(-1) (24 h) and 3044 microg l(-1) (48 h) for diuron, 5.20 microg l(-1) (24 h) and 5.59 microg l(-1) (48 h) for lindane, and 22.30 microg l(-1) (24 h) and 17.52 microg l(-1) (48 h) for TBT. Decapod larvae, as expected, were markedly more sensitive to the insecticides than sea urchins and ascidians, and SDS was the least toxic compound tested for these organisms. Lowest observed effect concentrations (LOEC) of TBT for sea urchin and ascidian embryos, chlorpyrifos and lindane for crustacean larvae, and SDS, were similar to those found in many coastal areas indicating that there would be a risk to invertebrate embryos and larvae from exposure in the field to these pollutants.

Abstract
Toxic metals, such as tributyltin (TBT), contribute substantially to anthropogenic pollution in many estuarine environments. Animals that live in those environments, particularly invertebrate filter feeders like tunicates, are likely to be exposed to substantial metal contamination. This study investigates the effects of TBT and other metals on the phenoloxidase activity of the estuarine tunicate, Styela plicata, in an effort to identify a biochemical marker of metal pollution. Hemocytes harvested from S. plicata that were exposed to tributyltin or copper in aquaria had significantly enhanced phenoloxidase activities relative to non-exposed controls. This enhanced phenoloxidase activity could be explained by an increased frequency of morula cells, which contain high levels of phenoloxidase's proenzyme, prophenoloxidase. Unlike those from tunicates exposed to metals in aquaria, the phenoloxidase activities of hemocytes incubated with tributyltin in vitro were significantly reduced when compared with hemocytes cultured without tributyltin. The ability of tributyltin to decrease phenoloxidase activity in tissue culture may reflect its known inhibitory effects on calcium-dependent signaling systems such as those involved in the exocytosis of prophenoloxidase from morula cells.
